Looking at this plant, with the memory of Mrs. Hamilton's plant firmly in my mind, I would say the [livejournal.com profile] irismoonlight plant offers the more spectacular bloom. It may be a different cultivar; I'm not up on the ins and outs of that.

And the first stalk of Hippeastrum 'exotica' is in its full glory, with another behind that, plus two stalks from 'gervase' on the way. I think it's possible that the 'gervase' may pop open this week.

You know what I really like about this picture? I took it while seated in my office chair. Whenever I need a little pick-me-up, I just slide my eyes over to the left a smidge...
